To Go: Tom Brosseau tonight at Largo in L.A.

Being so worshipful of PJ Harvey, we automatically have to take much interest in anything touched by her chief collaborator John Parish. (Speaking of, where the hell is my copy of Dance Hall at Louse Point? A boy taped it for me in 1996, and I could really go for "Lost Fun Zone" right now.) Parish's latest gig is producing the upcoming record Cavalier by Tom Brosseau, a wispy blonde thing from North Dakota whose lovely acoustic-guitar-based melodies are often described as "warbling," in a good way. Hear for yourself by downloading "Amory" or - better yet, if you live in L.A. - checking out Tom tonight at Largo. Cavalier comes out on October 23 and I'm already obsessed with "Committed to Memory," a handclap-inflected little heartbreaker that's full of Parish-y guitar twang and rhymes "Portland" with "Reverend Horton," thus making me all the more nostalgic for love in '96.
